It is more capable than a finite-state machine but less capable than a Turing machine.

* Transition, an operation of a finite-state machine

* Finite State Automaton, or finite-state machine

In the theory of computation, a Mealy machine is a finite-state machine whose output values are determined both by its current state and the current inputs.

Such knowledge is often represented as a partial or complete finite-state machine or computer program.

In the theory of computation, a Moore machine is a finite-state machine whose output values are determined solely by its current state.

The next part of the encoding process first requires an understanding of the decoder, which is a finite-state machine with two state variables i and n. i is an index into the string ranging from zero ( representing a potential insertion at the start ) to the current length of the extended string ( representing a potential insertion at the end ).

Also, in general, a push-down automaton can behave just like a finite-state machine, so it can decide any language which is regular.

Like the counter machine the RAM has its instructions in the finite-state portion of the machine ( the so-called Harvard architecture ).

The register machine has, for a memory external to its finite-state machinean unbounded ( cf: footnote | countable and unbounded ) collection of discrete and uniquely labelled locations with unbounded capacity, called " registers ".

Stateflow uses a variant of the finite-state machine notation established by David Harel, enabling the representation of hierarchy, parallelism and history within a state chart.

In the event that the finite-state machine fails to satisfy the property, a model checker is in some cases capable of producing a counterexample – an execution of the system demonstrating how the error occurs.

He was advised by Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics, and Henry P. McKean, Jr. As a student, he also worked with Warren McCulloch, the co-inventor of the artificial neural network and finite-state machine.

In computation, a finite-state machine ( FSM ) is event driven if the transition from one state to another is triggered by an event or a message.

This is in contrast to the parsing-theory origins of the term finite-state machine where the machine is described as consuming characters or tokens.

For example, a telecommunication protocol is most of the time implemented as an event-driven finite-state machine.

The AT & T FSM Library is a collection of Unix software tools for creating and manipulating finite state machines, specifically weighted finite-state acceptors and transducers.

According to Cisco, the full name of the algorithm is DUAL finite-state machine ( DUAL FSM ).

* A finite-state automaton distinguishes a special " start " state and a set of special " final " states.

If a system is regarded as a finite-state automaton with a set of transitions ( operations ) that change the system's state, then a security policy can be seen as a statement that partitions these states into authorized and unauthorized ones.

* In computing, a transition function is the function that defines the state transitions of a Turing machine, finite-state machine, or cellular automaton.

In 1964, Lawrence J. Fogel, one of the earliest practitioners of the GP methodology, applied evolutionary algorithms to the problem of discovering finite-state automata.

* foma ( software ), an open-source compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers compatible with Xerox lexc and twolc

It is useful for constructing finite-state machines from regular expressions and performing standard algorithms such as automata determinization, minimization, and intersection ; transducer composition ; etc.

They include computations in biology and biochemical systems ( e. g. Egri-Nagy & Nehaniv 2008 ), artificial intelligence, finite-state physics, psychology, and game theory ( see, for example, Rhodes 2009 ).

The RWTH FSA Toolkit is a highly efficient C ++ library that handles finite state machines ; in particular it deals with weighted finite-state acceptors and transducers.

A state logic control system uses a state transition diagram as a model of reality, thus using the fundamentals of finite-state machine theory as the basis of a programming language.

As in finite-state machine theory, only one ' state ' will be active at a time, and certain inputs and outputs will cause the transition between different states.

* Event-driven finite-state machine, finite-state machine where the transition from one state to another is triggered by an event or a message

Unlike finite-state machines, there exists no general algorithm of turning a NPDA into an equivalent DPDA if it exists, because that is the problem of determining whether a context-free language is deterministic, which is not decidable.

Verifying sequential consistency is undecidable in general, even for finite-state cache-coherence protocols.

The corresponding finite-state partition function is given by

" Tegmark goes on to note that although conventional theories in physics are Godel-undecidable, the actual mathematical structure describing our world could still be Godel-complete, and " could in principle contain observers capable of thinking about Godel-incomplete mathematics, just as finite-state digital computers can prove certain theorems about Godel-incomplete formal systems like Peano arithmetic.

In finite-state verification, model checkers examine finite-state machines representing concurrent software systems looking for errors in design.

* Temporal logic in finite-state verification

# REDIRECT Temporal logic in finite-state verification

Still other methods in phonology ( e. g. Optimality Theory, which uses lattice graphs ) and morphology ( e. g. finite-state morphology, using finite-state transducers ) are common in the analysis of language as a graph.

In the second of the two papers that introduced these algorithms they are analyzed as encoders defined by finite-state machines.

finite-state systems.

That is, there are tasks which no FSM can do but a Turing machine can do.

In order to make decisions in its operations with peers, a BGP peer uses a simple finite state machine ( FSM ) that consists of six states: Idle ; Connect ; Active ; OpenSent ; OpenConfirm ; and Established.

The behavior of a trusted system is often characterized in terms of a mathematical model — which may be more or less rigorous, depending upon applicable operational and administrative constraints — that takes the form of a finite state machine ( FSM ) with state criteria ; state transition constraints ; a set of " operations " that correspond to state transitions ( usually, but not necessarily, one ); and a descriptive top-level specification, or DTLS, entailing a user-perceptible interface ( e. g., an API, a set of system calls UNIX parlance or system exits Mainframe computer | mainframe parlance ), each element of which engenders one or more model operations.

* Finite state machine ( FSM )

Such a program corresponds to a finite state machine ( FSM ), i. e., a directed graph consisting of nodes ( or vertices ) and edges.

His climactic words about " the operation of the machine " have been quoted widely ever since, out of context, as the existential emblem of the FSM.

A virtual finite state machine is a finite state machine ( FSM ) defined in a virtual environment.

He was the first to use the type of finite state machine ( FSM ) that is most commonly used today, the Moore FSM.

Each " C-Unit " independently performed a process generally called a " shifting channel state ", a specialized type of finite state machine ( FSM ).
